Crazy, really just destroys your confidence in the truck.

Thanks! So I should be able to receive new OTA’s at some point after this trigger expires? Also is it possible that Ford engineering could have disabled my connected services/modem remotely? The dealer claims that’s what Ford did to stop the update from pushing. Unfortunately now FordPass no...

Nothing from the dealer. Ford has been equally unhelpful. Last communication I got from either was this text on August 8th. Going to take to a different dealer soon when I get the time.

Concern center agent finally got back with me: dealer told him that they have no solution right now and Ford engineering recommended “turning the WiFi in the truck off” to prevent it from trying to update. Wish I was kidding. Really don’t have the free time or energy left to screw with the...

Hoping so as well but I have suspicion that it’s deeper than that. There is a DTC on the GWM that points to a corruption in the BlueCruise files and also a DTC on the IPMA. The dealer keeps pointing to BlueCruise being part of the problem but haven’t been able to tell me what that means. My new...

Was about to do this exact thing this past Saturday at the dealership but they didn’t have a loaner to give me if it bricked and the service center was obviously closed. Will probably try again this Friday when I have some time and the technicians will be there to clear the inhibit again if it...

Complete ignorance or incompetence apparently. Both times they’ve claimed “we’ve completed all the updates.” But clearly they’ve done nothing of the sort.

Nope, they cleared the OTA inhibit again and made it drivable but still don’t have a solution. Painstakingly working with Ford and dealer on getting a solution. I have turned automatic updates off, but the truck has been reverting its settings overnight and turning updates back on. Has happened...

6.5.0

UNFORTUNATE UPDATE: Picked up the truck from the dealer. They cleared the inhibit and supposedly updated the BCM, I brought it home, was in a hurry and didn’t turn off automatic updates… BRICKED AGAIN!!

Yup all on Ford, they assigned a customer care agent that takes care of communicating with the dealership. Got a call from the dealership that it’ll be ready in the morning.

It’s on the tow rig to the dealer now or I’d fiddle with it some more. Thanks for the help, judging by the message when I ran a scan on the BCM you were dead-on with OTA inhibit being in place. Also had some sort of IPMA error on the GWM scan.

None No dice on disabling the inhibit. Ford roadside assistance it is lol. FWIW I also tried going through the BCM SW update and also encountered the NFTSA password issue.

I do have FDRS and the mongoose cable but I’m gonna wait and see what Ford does for me tomorrow before buying the license.

That would be definitely appreciated if he could. VIN is 1FTFW1E82MFB52748
